1808, Blackfriars Abbey, England The handsome 4th Marquis of Lorne has not been remembered kindly by history. Bored, privileged and selfish, he and his two friends, Darlington and Sutcliffe, founded a Hellfire Club, and unleased a demon into the mortal world. As punishment, they are put into a deep sleep by the Sorceress, the ruler of the between-worlds. 200 years later … Lorne, awoken from his sleep by archaeologist Professor Maggie McNab, is now a changed man. With Maggie’s help, he must recapture the demon and make reparation for his past crimes. But the ‘wicked marquis’ is unlike anyone Maggie has ever encountered, and as she joins him in his quest, they discover an irresistible, blazing mutual attraction. Can they survive what is to come with their love intact?

What is this world he has awoken into—where metal "monsters" roar down smooth stone paths and people parade in unfamiliar costumes? Where is the home that once stood on this pile of ancient rubble? And who is this woman who sees him when no one else can . . . and who stirs the fire in his soul? Her research into the legend of a notorious 18th-century Highland chieftan has brought Arabella Ryan to Scotland's storm-swept Loch Fasail. And now the Black Maclean himself has invaded her dreams. The sensuous caress of her mysterious "ghost lover" is no mere fantasy, lifting Bella to heights of ecstasy she never imagined existed. But fate has a reason for bringing them together across the centuries—a perilous mission that could change history as it tests the power of their desire and their love.
